[Monotone-devel] Why not sync to another local db??

[address@hidden]

Hi,
I'm beginning using monotone, I find it very valid and I'd like to adopt it for
my everyday use.. Thank you!
I am concerned with something strange: the sync command can only be used to sync
to a network db, and not for example to another local one.
The use I'd like to do with monotone is this: I work both at home and at work,
and nowhere I have a direct, permanent connection. So I would use 2 local dbs,
plus another one, a common db (or a "remote" db in monotone words) located on a
removable device (like a usb flash unit). At the end of every day I would sync
to the common db and resync with the local one next time in the other place.
This is not possible, for what I understood. 2 possible (maybe) solutions could
be commit to the first db and then to the second one with a different --db
option, or launch a server process only to access the 2nd local db, but I think
these are inconvenient methods...
I think that is an innatural limitation: databases are identical in format,
independently from the method used to access them, so this should be
generalized, both "local" and "remote" db should be able to be on the local fs,
on a network or anything else...
What do you think about that? Shouldn't "distributed" be a more general concept?
Bye and thanks
